Oct 7, 2021 Since its inception, the BET Hip-Hop Awards show has recognized rap artists who have created a lasting legacy through their music and beyond. Established back in 2006, the first I Am Hip Hop recipient was legendary Grandmaster Flash. From there, KRS-One, Salt-N-Pepa, Lil Wayne, Lil Kim, Master P, and Uncle Luke have all received the honor. Yesterday, Nelly accepted the award at the 2021 BET Hip-Hop Awards. In the interview with VIBE Magazine, Nelly talked about his most memorable career moments where he mentioned Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent: Interviewer: You have been in the industry for a while now doing your thing. Looking back, what have been some of your favorite or most memorable career moments? Nelly: My favorite career moment is just me getting in. Because you had to understand, again, I am from St. Louis. You know, from the Midwest, from Missouri. Nobody co-signed me. If you look at the majority, a lot of these people who have been successful on some level, they got co-signs. I love Eminem, but I did not have Dr. Dre. I love 50 Cent, but I did not have Eminem and Dr. Dre. I love Snoop, but I did not have Dr. Dre. I love Biggie but I did not have a Diddy. I love 2Pac but I did not have a Digital Underground. Did not nobody put me on stage. Kanye… Did not nobody put no Roc-A-Fella chain around my neck while I am standing on stage. I am saying all these blood, sweat, and tears were built. You talk about getting it out of the mud. All of what I was able to achieve was built with these hands, my crew, and my city.

Oct 7, 2021 He signed to Universal before getting known lol everybody got someone who pull them on stage
Oct 14, 2021 Stupid reasoning. A co-sign isn't what made the individuals mentioned. They would have blew regardless.
Oct 14, 2021 Eminem would have never made it without dre. That’s a fact. He maintained it because of himself but got it in the first place because of Dre . 50 on the other hand was coming rather anyone liked it or not. Riding in on the em/dre wave definitely helped his numbers though
